Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin pan by spraying it lightly with baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy.
- Add baking powder, salt, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid over-mixing.
- Divide the dough into two portions. Fold red sprinkles into one half and green sprinkles into the other.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and press them into the prepared mini muffin pan, creating an indentation in the center of each.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While cooling, prepare the frosting by beating together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually add milk until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Once the cookie cups are completely cool, pipe or spread frosting into the center of each cup.
- Garnish with additional sprinkles before serving.
